《Prolonging the Victims Agony》《延長受害者的痛苦》
※The crucified mans right tibia, the larger of the two bones in the lower leg, had been brutally fractured into large, sharp slivers, perhaps to hasten his suffocation by making it virtually impossible to push himself up the vertical beam, an action required to sustain breathing (although this theory has been challenged by Frederick T. Zugibe in his article “Two Questions About Crucifixion,” in Bible Review, April 1989, 35-43).
十字架上的犯人，腳部從右脛骨下端被釘，碎成兩半，以致無力將軀幹伸直來呼吸，加速了窒息死亡。但有人在論文中提出質疑這種說法。
※Although this man was crucified through the forearm, it is possible to do so through the palm, contrary to what some have said. If the nail enters the palm through the thenar furrow (an area between three bones) it breaks no bones and is capable of supporting several hundred pounds.
十字架上犯人，手部被定位置有兩種說法：一是釘在前臂，一是釘在手掌溝。手掌若骨頭未斷，可支撐幾百磅的體重。
※Often times a small peg or block of wood, called a sedecula, was fixed midway up the vertical beam, providing a seat of sorts. Its purpose was to prevent premature collapse and thus prolong the victims agony.
常常在垂直木上，大約軀幹中間，釘上一塊木頭，讓犯人可勉強撐上呼吸，拖長生命，延長受苦時間。
